What kind of classes/seminars/workshops do you think would be interesting to baby boomers - especially what kind of topics/subjects would help them start a micro business, or promote or support it by utilizing software in new and innovative ways?
Great Idea Factory meeting today (Mar 10). We are really making progress and exchanging great ideas and information. Next meeting on March 24 at 10:00am. (If you are new to the group come at 9:30am at the New Visions Center and get a qucik update)
A friend that's a retired school teacher is working as a pharmacy tech for a large drugstore chain. I asked him if he'd gone to school to be a pharm tech and he said "no". He studied the drugs and learned their generic names on his own and then took the state test. He is now nationally certified and his employer paid for his test after he was with them for 6 months. There are things we can do on our own like this. He's agreed to be on a Boomerz panel if asked.

ReplyDeleteI'm excited that we'll be able to set up the talent bank soon, to broadcast to our Boomer friendly companies.
